Selecting

Plays selecting

This section covers the idea of selecting columns from your data. Returning a subset of columns that are relevant to your analysis, making it easier to work with and understand the dataset. This process helps in condensing or minimizing the dataset, reducing its column size to focus on the essential information.

Python - selecting

Code

from datavolley import read_dv
import pandas as pd
from IPython.display import Markdown
dv_instance = read_dv.DataVolley(None) # Replace `None` with path of your dvw file 
df = dv_instance.get_plays()
selected_df = df[['team', 'player_name', 'skill', 'evaluation_code', 'point_won_by']].head(10)
Markdown(selected_df.to_markdown(index = False))

R - selecting

library(datavolley)
library(dplyr)
x <- dv_read("datavolley//example_data.dvw") # Example data from python
px <- x$plays
selected_px <- px %>% dplyr::select(team, player_name, skill, evaluation_code, point_won_by)
knitr::kable(selected_px %>% head(10))
